Create private sketches, remove ads, run in full screen
Comparison:
Very robust 3D tools, focused on building 3D from interplay of
3D objects, extensive tutorials, can be sluggish to run,
occasional camera orientation confusion
Description:
By combining faces, arcs and 3D shapes in 3D space, and
choosing the texture of the objects created, users create their
own 3D rendering of whatever they decide to design
Uses:
User could make a personal avatar, an invention they
wish existed, a location of a current event
Required for log-in account (allows users to make a hotmail account if no email address exists)
Paid Option:

Comparison:
Program automatically generates 3D "point cloud" from
images, easy to use, good privacy options, no way to edit
photosynth once created.
Description:
By taking a series of pictures which overlap around a 3D space
or by taking a series of pictures which overlap around a 3D
object, and uploading them using Photosynth, the online
server automatically stitches the photos together, finds common
points in relative 3D space and generates a 3D model of the
picture area
Uses:
Students could render their classroom in 3D, make a synth of
their favorite childhood toy, or of a landmark they want to visit
(using online sourced photos)
